  • Rach didn't spend his lifetime arguing on youtube.

    That may have been one of the reasons he became such an amazing composer/pianist/conductor...

  • I was 16 when I first heard this concerto. I still love it today at 66. It is one of those pieces of music that makes you realise that life without music would be intolerable, that death is suspended whenever it is played. How can such beauty be so fleeting? Just like life itself.

    As long as someone plays it, and someone hears it, adores it, then our love, lives forever.

  • my favorite version on youtube, mostly because I can actually hear the piano and the pianist is simply outstanding.

  • @sargeanton2 I'm very intrigued, there really are hardly any wrong notes in this...and he certainly doesn't miss anything altogether....the slur in the final interlocking chords was intended by Rachmaninoff, I would say...no point painstainkingly playing every note crystal clear, that would kill the exuberance...just like you I think this is an outstanding performance, but I really can't hear a high amount of wrong notes...and I've heard many renditions of this...correct me if I'm worng!

  • it's like rachmaninoff didn't write this like a virtuoso piece but a piece that is very emotional

  • 3:50 - 3:58 was amazing

  • This 3rd movement is an " obra prima" of Serguei Rachmaninoff very well played by the soloist and the orchestra.

  • @Desdownunda That is so beautiful

  • I love it and would be very upset if it were removed. We all make mistakes in life and we aren't band for it. Let this remain is my vote....! Beautiful.....

  • A superb version.

  • @sargeanton2 Thanks! I don't know the movement well enough to hear the mistakes but I am still interested in where they are!
